Vietnam: Royal elephants at the Huong (Perfume) River, Hue (early 20th century)

The Perfume River crosses the city of Hue in the central Vietnamese province of Thua Thien Hue. In the autumn, flowers from orchards upriver fall into the water, giving it an aromatic smell—hence the name 'Perfume River'. The Perfume River has two sources, both of which begin in the Day Truong Son mountain range and meet at Bang Lang fork. The 30-km river passes the landmarks of the Hon Chen Temple and the Ngoc Tran Temple.
